In life, this spirit is precisely what everyone aspires to embody. The Big-Bellied Maitreya Buddha is also known as the Laughing Buddha. He is a revered figure in Chinese Buddhist temples, typically enshrined at the entrance, just inside the main gate. With his benevolent smile and kind eyes, the Big-Bellied Maitreya Buddha visually represents the Buddhist principles of magnanimity and compassion, making him deeply beloved by all. People of all ages are uplifted by his cheerful demeanor. Many temples feature a couplet alongside the Maitreya Buddha: "With a belly vast enough to hold all the world's difficulties; with a smile that laughs at all the world's follies." This blend of education and joy inspires the soul and brings a sense of delight to the solemnity of the temple. https://img.zcool.cn/community/01usgx9xp1amplat5of4xb3135.jpg?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/resize,m_lfit,w_1280,limit_1/sharpen,100/quality,q_100/format,webp The couplet associated with the Big-Bellied Maitreya Buddha, the Laughing Buddha, offers profound life philosophy that lingers in the mind, illuminating thoughts and guiding one's path. In the vastness of existence, amidst the joys and sorrows, the triumphs and tribulations of human life, the fleeting nature of wealth and status, the dazzling allure of power – all can be met with a smile. To possess a tolerance that embraces the unmanageable, to endure inner turmoil, to withstand the solitude of time, and to refrain from petty disputes, one can avoid countless future troubles. Patience is supreme, harmony is precious. Even as the world shifts and changes like a game of chess, all worldly matters are but transient moments. https://img.zcool.cn/community/01ihn1fjg7d8kaotv8xqcq3431.jpg?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/resize,m_lfit,w_1280,limit_1/sharpen,100/quality,q_100/format,webp --Comes with a pre-arranged pendant cord, approximately 68cm in circumference, with adjustable length. https://img.zcool.cn/community/0155lnggzabu3tt22xpuxb3738.jpg?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/resize,m_lfit,w_1280,limit_1/sharpen,100/quality,q_100/format,webp Details: ▼▼ https://img.zcool.cn/community/012cadas80kjlxvug42kvd3936.jpg?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/resize,m_lfit,w_1280,limit_1/sharpen,100/quality,q_100/format,webp https://img.zcool.cn/community/013dml95frbqkat3obyhf83535.jpg?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/resize,m_lfit,w_1280,limit_1/sharpen,100/quality,q_100/format,webp https://img.zcool.cn/community/01txxjsqg9yyw5pryxoq4y3635.jpg?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/resize,m_lfit,w_1280,limit_1/sharpen,100/quality,q_100/format,webp https://img.zcool.cn/community/01qgn8rjmwnwxt7xbgh4uz3339.jpg?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/resize,m_lfit,w_1280,limit_1/sharpen,100/quality,q_100/format,webp 【Please Note】: Kindly check the detailed dimensions carefully!!

Hetian Jade, one of China's "Four Great Famous Jades," traditionally refers to jadeite originating from the Hetian region of Xinjiang, renowned globally, particularly its "pebble" form. In a broader sense, Hetian Jade denotes nephrite (true jade). During the Qin Dynasty when the First Emperor unified China, Hetian Jade was known as "Kunlun Mountain Jade" due to its origin in the Kunlun Mountains. Later, it was called "Yutian Jade" as it was found within the territory of the "Yutian Kingdom." It was officially named "Hetian Jade" only in 1883 (the ninth year of the Guangxu Emperor's reign in the Qing Dynasty) when the Hetian directly administered prefecture was established. https://img.zcool.cn/community/01nc5xgclhrkl35deyho9c3939.jpg?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/resize,m_lfit,w_1280,limit_1/sharpen,100/quality,q_100/format,webp Although Hetian Jade is named after Hetian in Xinjiang, it is not a geographical designation. It does not specifically refer to jade produced in the Xinjiang Hetian region but is a classification of a product type. China designates stones with an tremolite content of over 98% as Hetian Jade, falling within the national standard. Therefore, regardless of its origin—Xinjiang, Qinghai, Liaoning, Russia, Canada, or Korea—as long as its main component is tremolite, it can be called Hetian Jade. Hetian Jade exhibits a rich spectrum of colors, including white, bluish-green, grey, light to deep green, yellow to brown, and black. Hetian Jade is a metamorphic rock formed through the contact and metasomatism of magnesian marble and intermediate-acidic magmatic rocks. It is an aggregate of minerals such as tremolite, actinolite, and edenite. Its chemical composition is a hydrous calcium magnesium silicate, with the chemical formula Ca2(Mg,Fe)5[Si8O22](OH)2. Its density ranges from 2.95 to 3.17, and its Mohs hardness is between 6.0 and 6.5. The primary structure of Hetian Jade is metamorphic, encompassing felt-like cryptocrystalline metamorphic structures, microfibrous-cryptocrystalline metamorphic structures, microfibrous saccharoidal metamorphic structures, micro-platy-cryptocrystalline metamorphic structures, micro-platy metamorphic structures, and micro-radiant (scopiform) metamorphic structures. Less common structures include residual fibrous structures and replacement coronas. While the mineral grains in Hetian Jade exhibit some degree of orientation, it is not pronounced. Occasionally, grains display undulatory extinction and signs of plastic deformation. These indicate that the stress intensity during metamorphism was within the elastic limit of the minerals. The main textures of Hetian Jade include massive and platy textures, with massive texture being more common. 【 Logistics | Shipping 】 【Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Mainland China】: Shipped via SF Express, estimated delivery within 5 days after dispatch. 【Other International Regions】 International SF Express is the default shipping method, with an estimated delivery time of 6-10 days (longer if subject to customs inspection). 《Brand Philosophy》 Jade, having traversed millennia, as civilizations ebb and flow. With our own hands and wisdom, we polish it, adorn it, infusing it with soul and thought, bestowing upon it individuality and style. Every piece of jade should have its story. What tales it carries, what hopes it holds for the future—this, perhaps, is the vitality of jade. Regardless of the elements or themes, I aim to be grounded in the present, capturing this era, and narrating its story through my unique artistic language, hoping to resonate with more people.
